Takahashi TOA-150 refractor with EM-400 Temma2 EQ
The TOA-150 is the floret of the range of apochromatic refractors, proposed by Takahashi. As usual, the Japanese company has manufactured one of the most beautiful and powerful telescopes that can be found on the worldwide market.
Incomparable optics providing a very small residual chromatism and featuring reliable and robust mechanics, that is what TOA-150 will provide to any amateur astronomers looking for the best. No matter what you are looking for, from deep sky CCD imaging to high-resolution planetary visual observation, TOA-150 will bring you the best. Moreover, all your needs will be fulfilled by a large range of accessories.
The TOA-150 is available either the tube itself (OTA) or complete configuration. In spite of its size and its weight, this refractor can be used as an itinerant mode, particularly when it is associated with the EM-400 equatorial mount. This will allow the end-user to take advantage of the best night skies.
Mount Description:
With a loading capacity of 35 kg, the EM-400 equatorial mount is placed between the JP-Z and the EM-500 but with the ergonomics of the EM-200. Composed of 3 dismountable parts, it is easier to transport and more rapid to implement that the JP-Z. Moreover, integration of the electronic parts inside keeps safely all the fragile elements. It is ideal for the itinerant observers wishing to take advantage of their optical tubes under the best night skies, like for instance TOA-150 refractor or Mewlon-250 reflector.
The EM-400 is equipped with the Temma-2 automatic pointing system, controllable by computer. It is compatible with the majority of the software used by the astronomers amateurs (via the ASCOM interface, for example), whether it is Windows, MacOSX or Linux operating systems.
Whatever your optical tube, your assembly or your astronomical field of predilection are, the Takahashi EM-400 EQ mount will answer your waiting.
